Still waiting for an inspector to hand me a torque screwdriver instead of just leaving another red tag on the door?

That calibration check is honestly the kind of habit every shop should have, but almost nobody does until they get burned exactly like you did. The scary part is how confident the machine makes you feel, like you stop double checking your own work because the screen says its good. I bet theres a ton of cars rolling out of shops right now with bad alignment numbers just because nobody thought to verify the rack itself. Your Monday morning routine is smart but it also points to a bigger issue, machines need love too and most shops treat them like theyre always right. Maybe techs should be doing a quick sanity check with a level or a known straight car way more often than just when something feels off. Once you lose trust in the equipment, every single job takes longer because you second guess everything, so catching it early saves way more than 20 minutes a week.
